Dash Berlin is a Dutch electronic music group formed in 2007 in The Hague by Eelke Kalberg and Sebastiaan Molijn. In 2012, Dash Berlin was ranked the seventh most popular DJ in the world by DJ Mag, with Kalberg and Molijn also being recognized as record producers. After a legal battle with Jeffrey Sutorius regarding the “Dash Berlin” trademark, Kalberg and Molijn departed from the group in 2019 but made a comeback in 2021. The group is currently led by Ryan Fieret since 2022. Kalberg and Molijn have made significant contributions to the global dance scene for over two decades, producing award-winning hits for various dance acts like Alice Deejay, Vengaboys, and Candee Jay. Their track “Better Off Alone” was a pioneering trance record in the U.S. and was later sampled by renowned artists like David Guetta and Wiz Khalifa. Collaborating with DJ Sander Kleinenberg on tracks such as “This Is Miami” and delivering remixes for top artists including Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, Kalberg and Molijn have left an indelible mark in the music industry.
On June 18, 2018, Jeffrey Sutorius announced his departure from Dash Berlin, citing mismanagement and career neglect issues. Subsequently, starting from October 2018, Sutorius began his solo career under his own name while Dash Berlin continued as a duo. In a legal turn of events on June 21, 2019, Sutorius gained ownership of the Dash Berlin name, leading to Kalberg and Molijn parting ways with the group to pursue individual musical ventures. In March 2021, Sutorius revealed via social media that he would continue his music journey under his own name, Jeffrey Sutorius, following a legal battle with the former members who secured the rights to the Dash Berlin trademark in March 2021.
